Horrible Houseprice Crashers mock Mumsnetters

I hope the mummies tell them to stick their offer where the sun don't shine.

They all have usernames like Yummy_mummy_in_Chiswick, or Tarquins_mummy99 as well. I agree it is easy to have a closed mind.

We've got a few of those on here as well.

I just find it sad that apparently someone defines their entire identity as being the parent of a child. Does that mean they were nothing and worthless before their chose to reproduce?

I find it sad that someone reads so much into a username.

Jeez. I just can't imagine my mum and her group of friends talking in such a way! I understand that the OP of the mumsnet thread is angry, but to start hoping for misfortune on other peoples kids is a bit much, isn't it?!

Sounds to me that it's all a bit rushed and the buyers have had their survey back and advice. Theres stuff to put right, hence the reduction in offer...which is fair enough?

Though harsh, this is the English system, and for all concerned, I do feel it needs looking at, and so do loads of others, but nothing like this ever gets regulated properly in the UK.

Edit: LOVE the fact that after all these allegations, the advice is to string along potential buyers while they decide what to do. The hypocrisy......It's off the scale!

It's amazing how gazundeing can spark such distasteful comments, yet if the seller had a buyer gazumping another buyer, no one would bat an eyelid, and it would probably be celebrated. Funny old world.

i think it's broadly ok to be honest.

the exchange is when a final agreement is reached. before then stuff is only very roughly agreed, in principle. so both buyer & seller need to have everything crossed that everything works out, & also that they know what their options will be if things don't work out.

when i previously sold a flat i ended up sweating buckets, frantically making dozens of last minute phone calls to lawyers, surveyors, neighbours, freeholders, & whatnot, to iron out last minute details [basically our buyers got last minute cold feet about a zillion things to do with buildings insurance, whether the freeholder would try to prevent them from to carry out minor building works, & whatnot, we worked it out in the end, just] - not nice but that's the process, that's the system. i didn't seriously hold any form of grudge against the buyers at all.
